You realize that something like this is only possible in a small company where there are few employees, right? If your desire is to see this happen at large companies with thousands of employees, then you are destined to be disappointed. Mathematically impossible.

Steve Jobs cut his salary to $1. Apple is not that small.
The fact that companies with hundreds and thousands of employees can pay a CEOs millions in salery and pay payrolls is kinda a testament that money isn't an issue.

it also helps that the company pays for his expenses. and steve jobs is also quite rich because of apple, and i am willing to bet that he put a lot of the money he made since starting the company into a tac free foundation that pays him to administer said foundation, and he probably gets lots of stock options from apple that he can cash in regularly as well.
as for the OP, that can work on a small scale, but try that at ford or GM and see what happens, and i dont mean just cutting the CEOs salary either.
and remember that at most corporations, the CEO is an employee of said corporation, and the board of directors sets the CEOs salary, not the CEO himself.

100% irrelevant. The issue is not cutting CEO salary. The issue is cutting CEO salary for the purpose of increasing worker's base salary. Steve Job's salary was not so big as to give every employee a gigantic raise. Why? Because the company is far too large to have any measurable impact on worker pay.
I can only assume you don't understand the math of it all.

By cutting his salary to $1 he cheated the government out of thousands in income and social security taxes. Jobs gets the majority of his money from investment income just like most wealthy people.
If I ran a business that earned $1 million in profits and only paid myself $1 in salary, I would go to prison for tax evasion.
